I do not think God would be pleased with my actions of voting for a man that believes he will one day be a god. Romney has surrounded himself with left leaning advisers; abortionists, gun grabbers, global warming loons, queer marriage supporters, and NWO types. I do not have a good choice, nor do I trust what Myth has good in his heart.
In the instances you have provided, the king of Judah was delivered unto an enemy because of his sin. Sin begets sin. God did not do evil, he just allowed the king of Judah to fall to his own demise; the Lord turned from him because he continued to turn from the Lord. That is not an excuse to find lesser ways to turn from the Lord.
Daniel did not chose the lesser of two evils, as your own quote shows -
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.
Daniel did not say that it was okay because God allowed Neb to besiege and conquer Jerusalem. It was not okay for Daniel to follow Neb's God because it was lesser evil than the king of Judah.
Instead, as your quote shows, Daniel remained steadfast in his faith and witnessed to King Neb.
Has it not occurred to you that God uses those 'lesser of two evils' situations to manifest His Will and to assure that the best results are produced from what man's limited mind perceives as the worst potential?
I do. But, I don't think HE expects us to chose evil. Rather than succumbing to the world and the belief that all we have left is evil, we should remain steadfast and refuse to chose evil.
God cannot possibly support a persons intention to act in such a way when they already know the consequence is knowingly will help bring about an evil man to power.
Exactly. Which is why I cannot and will not support a man that supports abortion, gay marriage, etc. It does not matter to me whether (R) or (D). Aborted babies are no less dead under abortion champion Romney. The religious institution of marriage is no less harmed if the champion of "queer marriage" is a Republican. Medicine is no less socialized under 0Care than RomneyCare. Gun rights are under no less threat under gun grabber Romney than under gun grabber 0bama.
We do have a choice; not to participate in the evil one's game. he wants us to feel hopeless, to feel fear, to feel like we have to chose the evil choice before us. I don't feel fear. I am not hopeless and I do not accept the choice before me.
Our nation has sinned against God for more than a generation. What we see as a result is that there are virtually no men of God now in position to be leader of this country.
So had the people of Israel, yet Nehemiah still rebuilt Jerusalem. He didn't fall into the evil traps laid before him. See also Moses leading his people out of Egypt. These men were men that remained above the fray (or did their best attempts). They did not settle for the status qua or just accept lesser evil.
If Hillary suddenly jumped ship and became part of the GOP, and was running against 0 would you vote for her?
If 0bama became an (R) and was running against Bill Ayers who would you vote for? My point is Romney supports many of the same atrocities as does 0bama. I do not feel comfortable giving my account by saying, 'well he was a Republican.' God does not vote party line.
At what point is it acceptable to say we will not sully ourselves with such evil?
At what point do we send the message to the GOPE in the general that if you do not put forth candidates to represent us, we will not support them?
You may be comfortable waiting until 2020, but I'm not.
I will not support an abortionist, queer "marriage" supporter, gun grabber, or supporter of socialized medicine. I don't care what party they belong to.
Magnificent!
Say what you want about Romney, but those Navy Seals would be alive, the Ambassador wouldn't have been raped and murdered, and the embassies wouldn't have been besieged on his watch.
